Gooseberry Crumble 5,346 Posted January 29, 2022 https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/17482831/eastenders-sam-mitchell-return-kim-medcalf/ Looks like there will never be a career lifeline again for Daniella in EastEnders as her role has been recast (again ) back to the actress Kim Medcalf who played Sam Mitchell the first time they replaced Daniella.

She said last year she was happy for that too happen. As an Eastenders fan I am happy too as I preferred Kim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but Kim Medcalf looks 10 years at least younger than when Daniella last reprised the role several years back.Glad I don`t have a TV anymore. When I saw my family at Christmas EastEnders had sunk to an all time low when I tuned in . Painful to watch unlike when I grew up and you had big and interesting characters such as Peggy Mitchell , Old Mo, Little Mo ,Pat Butcher, Frank Butcher, Pauline Fowler , Charlie Slater, Barry Evans, Roy Evans, Mark Fowler, Dr Legge , Blossom Jackson Carol Jackson, Max Branning ,Tania Branning, Dirty Den , Dot Cotton, Jim Branning , Aunt Sal Martin , Nana Moon , Alfie Moon ,Jack Dalton ,Nick Cotton , Johnny Allen , Ian Beale and Steve Owen. Seemed very poor in terms of acting and character development. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't watched it since some time in the 1990s. Or any of the soaps. It all started going down the toilet when they increased the episodes from two per week.

Channel executives and soap bosses certainly got greedy with the increasing number of episodes over the years and in a way killed the goose that laid the golden eggs.

Awe I hope she genuinely meant it and wasn't just being polite because she seems like such a sensitive and troubled soul and if she had hoped to return one day she may well be hurting today. I know she said on celebrity big brother that she owned or ran a pie and mash shop in London but I haven't heard it mentioned in recent years so I suspect it may not have worked out. I feel sorry for Danniella but I too prefer Kim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why the anger if she's so accepting? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10457029/Danniella-Westbrook-lashes-EastEnders-axed-soap.html Full details of her response and snark towards the BBC in this article. She also hints that people should be now afraid of revelations in her new book. To me this is at odds with what you are saying. Yes I doubt she will end up suing the BBC too but not because she is accepting of the decision to recast but because legally she hasn’t got a case and likely not the money for a big battle either.

Daniella in 1997 I think and Kim not longer after she started filming on Eastenders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
